Tips & Advice

  • Consider purchasing an 'Unlimited Spooky Pass' in advance if you want to experience both the Friendly Frights and Wicked Haunts trails multiple times, as on-the-night upgrades are subject to availability.
  • Dress in weather-appropriate clothing and wear suitable footwear, as both the Friendly Frights Experience and Wicked Haunts Trail take place outdoors on uneven terrain.
  • For the Wicked Haunts Trail, yellow paddles are available for guests who prefer a less intense experience, signaling to actors to dial down the scares.
  • While the fireworks are low-noise, they may still include sudden bangs, so be mindful if attending with pets or very sensitive individuals (though pets are not allowed at the event itself).
  • Arrive early to make the most of the 'Little Monster Games' and other activities available before the main events like the bonfire and fireworks begin.
